In order to process video data effectively, it is required that the content information of video data is loaded in database and semantic- based retrieval method can be available for various query of users. Currently existent contents-based video retrieval systems search by single method such as annotation-based or feature-based retrieval, and show low search efficiency and requires many efforts of system administrator or annotator form less perfect automatic processing. In this paper, we propose semantic-based video retrieval system which support semantic retrieval of various users by feature-based retrieval and annotation-based retrieval of massive video data. By user's fundamental query and selection of image for key frame that extracted from query, the agent gives the detail shape for annotation of extracted key frame. Also, key frame selected by user become query image and searches the most similar key frame through feature based retrieval method that propose. Therefore, we design the system that can heighten retrieval efficiency of video data through semantic-based retrieval.

Now a days, to make good use of tags is a general tendency when users need to upload or search some multimedia data such as images and videos on the Web. In this paper, we introduce an approach to calculate semantic importance of tags and to make re-ranking with them on tagged Web image retrieval. Generally, most photo images stored on the Web have lots of tags added with user's subjective judgements not by the importance of them. So they become the cause of precision rate decrease with simple matching of tags to a given query. Therefore, if we can select semantically important tags and employ them on the image search, the retrieval result would be enhanced. In this paper, we propose a method to make image retrieval re-ranking with the key tags which share more semantic information with a query or other tags based on Wikipedia-based semantic relatedness. With the semantic relatedness calculated by using huge on-line encyclopedia, Wikipedia, we found the superiority of our method in precision and recall rate as experimental results.

As the modern techniques have improved, people intend to store and manage the information on the web. Especially, it is the image data that is given a great deal of weight of the information because of the development of the scan and popularization of the digital camera and the cell-phone's camera. However, most image retrieval systems are still based on the text annotations while many images are creating everyday on the web. In this paper, we suggest the new approach for the semantic image retrieval using the RDF metadata based on the representation of the spatial relationships. For the semantic image retrieval, firstly we define the new vocabularies to represent the spatial relationships between the objects in the image. Secondly, we write the metadata about the image using RDF and new vocabularies. Finally. we could expect more correct result in our image retrieval system.

This research is for early extraction and utilization of semantic information from the tags in tagged Web image retrieval. Generally, users attach a tag to a Web image with little thought of the order, up to over 100 ones. In this paper, we suggest a method of selecting prior tags based on their importance when tagged images are uploaded, and using them in image retrieval. Ideas came from the recognition of the important tags which give a better description of the image as the tags sharing more semantic information with other tags of the same image. This method includes calculation of relation scores between tags based on WordNet and multilevel search of tagged images with the scores. For evaluation, we compared the suggested method and other retrieval methods searching images with simple matching of tags to a given keyword. As the results, we found the superiority of our method in precision and recall rate.

This paper introduces a new approach to semantic image retrieval using shape descriptors as dispersion and moment in conjunction with discriminative model of Latent-dynamic Conditional Random Fields (LDCRFs). The target region is firstly localized via the background subtraction model. Then the features of dispersion and moments are employed to k-mean procedure to extract object's feature as second stage. After that, the learning process is carried out by LDCRFs. Finally, SPARQL language on input text or image query is to retrieve semantic image based on sequential processes of Query Engine, Matching Module and Ontology Manger. Experimental findings show that our approach can be successful retrieve images against the mammals Benchmark with rate 98.11. Such outcomes are likely to compare very positively with those accessible in the literature from other researchers.

Semantic interpretation of image is incomplete without some mechanism for understanding semantic content that is not directly visible. For this reason, human assisted content-annotation through natural language is an attachment of textual description to image. However, keyword-based retrieval is in the level of syntactic pattern matching. In other words, dissimilarity computation among terms is usually done by using string matching not concept matching. In this paper, we propose a method for computerized semantic similarity calculation In WordNet space. We consider the edge, depth, link type and density as well as existence of common ancestors. Also, we have introduced method that applied similarity measurement on semantic image retrieval. To combine wi#h the low level features, we use the spatial color distribution model. When tested on a image set of Microsoft's 'Design Gallery Line', proposed method outperforms other approach.

Text-based image retrieval is not only cumbersome as it requires the manual input of keywords by the user, but is also limited in the semantic approach of keywords. However, content-based image retrieval enables visual processing by a computer to solve the problems of text retrieval more fundamentally. Vision applications such as extraction and mapping of image characteristics, require the processing of a large amount of data in a mobile environment, rendering efficient power consumption difficult. Hence, an effective image retrieval method on mobile platforms is proposed herein. To provide the visual meaning of keywords to be inserted into images, the efficiency of image retrieval is improved by extracting keywords of exchangeable image file format metadata from images retrieved through a content-based similar image retrieval method and then adding automatic keywords to images captured on mobile devices. Additionally, users can manually add or modify keywords to the image metadata.

We present a relevance feedback approach based on multi-class support vector machine (SVM) learning and cluster-merging which can significantly improve the retrieval performance in region-based image retrieval. Semantically relevant images may exhibit various visual characteristics and may be scattered in several classes in the feature space due to the semantic gap between low-level features and high-level semantics in the user's mind. To find the semantic classes through relevance feedback, the proposed method reduces the burden of completely re-clustering the classes at iterations and classifies multiple classes. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective and efficient than the two-class SVM and multi-class relevance feedback methods.
